As others replied, this is the expected behavior.  However, I also had
the need to make sure the date object was not changed due to different
timezones of the client and server.  There is another thread, I don't
have a link to it handy but you could search for something like "date
serialization", where it was suggested to replace the gwt default date
serialization logic.  That is what I did.

Warning, you need to compile the GWT java libraries yourself and this
change affects all Date serialization.  Since that is what I wanted, I
didn't look for a more refined method that I could be applies to only
specific dates.  Here is what I replaced:

The following file is in the user/src directory of the gwt source
tree.

Good luck,
Chris....
